How do I know what my sculpture will look like?

During several defining stages of sculpting and painting you will be sent pictures ofthe work in progress and be given adequate time to respond if you have questions,concerns or suggestions.

What is the compartment for and how do I seal it?

Each memorial is created with a custom bottom made from plexiglass and is padded with felt to prevent

scratching of surfaces and shipped with a secure yet removable sealant.The compartment of the sculpture body can then be used to store mementos, toys or pictures of your pet.I have designed each pet sculpture so that if you wish, you may inter your dog or cat's cremains after they have passed.

Can I remove the seal of the compartment without breaking the sculpture?

The seal can be removed by gently pulling it from the bottom of the memorial.It can be resealed if needed by peeling the silicon off and reapplying fresh.

Is it big enough to hold my pet's cremains?

Every sculpture is large enough to hold even the largest dog's cremains.

Can the memorial sculptures be placed outside?

The paints that are used to create the likeness of your pet are not created to withstand exposure to the

elements.However, if you request ahead of time, you may select a quality single colored glaze and the seal would be designed to permanently protect your pet's cremains from exposure.

What is your return policy?

Each cat and dog sculpture will be created in the likeness of your individual pet and you will be sentphotos as it is created. For that reason, if at any time before the firing process you are dissatisfied, you may
